  • Ventriloquism

    From Daryl Stout@1:2320/33 to George Pope on Mon Oct 18 07:00:00 2021
    George,

    Puppet is ambiguous, but "ventriloquist's dummy" is very clear & on
    point.

    When Paul Zerden was on America's Got Talent Champions, Howie Mandel
    quipped that another of the judges "wants to see your puppet". <G>

    Most of the more famous/popular ventriloquists seem to speak of them
    asd friends or family, but that's as much or more for the show of it,
    as how they think of them, I'm sure. . .

    Darci Lynn Farmer notes that "each of her characters is a different side
    of her". Her Mom originally encouraged her to do it, to get over her being
    shy.

    ... She used to be a teacher. Back then she had class.

    What did Paul say to that?

    & a good job it did, too! Shy is not how I think of Darci, except as it applies to all ventriloquists.

    Your friend,

    It looked like he blushed and chuckled. <G>

    She was originally shy, and she admitted "it has helped her come out
    of her shell".
